I Do or I Don’t: Tweeting Your Proposal (Or Having the Old Spice Guy Do It for You!)

No doubt that technology is convenient for getting a message across. (We’ve already talked about when it’s OK to Facebook your engagement news.) But would you want your boyfriend to tweet the question, instead of popping it in person--or have a fictional ad-campaign character create a will-you-marry-me YouTube video like this...

So you know those short YouTube videos starring that shirtless guy talking about Old Spice (they went viral last week so odds are, you know exactly what I’m talking about!)? Well, one fan tweeted at the Old Spice account asking if they’d create a YouTube proposal for his girlfriend. And they did!

And she said yes!

I would’ve cracked up if Paul asked me that way because I find those videos to be hilarious (and hopefully this newly engaged gal enjoyed her proposal!), but if I had never seen these Old Spice videos and Paul decided to propose with one, I may have been a bit disappointed. And a straight-up tweet asking me to marry him? That would feel so lazy and impersonal.

But how do you ladies feel about Twitter proposals? Would you have been thrilled to have the bare-chested Old Spice guy ask for your hand in marriage on behalf of your guy? Or is in person the only way to pop the question?
